About

This initiative began in the winter of 2014 as an academic survey of research on renewable energy projects in Indigenous communities in Canada. It soon became clear that, while there is limited research currently available, an inspiring number of projects are emerging across the country. This website was built to share this inspiration and contribute to the continuing development of renewable energy by Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. The map and database are occasionally modified with minor edits and community feedback, but the last substantial funding-related update was in Fall 2016.
